That's even better ... love your creations! I'll have to look into this technique. Is it difficult?

I just use soft scrub with bleach. A nice plastic stencil, a sponge brush, and some "anti-chlor" from the pool store. I generally will do 30+ in a day. I like the 4" -6" ones so that I can use them all sorts of things later on. Some I ink, some I might paint if they get too white, some get colored pencils, whatever I feel like doing to them!

dixie-fried, I just copied the pattern from a picture of one and fused each part onto the body section. It was so much fun to make and I am going to make another couple for gifts.

Did you like the sunflower Marymo? That one took me a bit to make. Found the petal maker at the quilt shop and it came to me what to make you since your avatr is a sunflower and in a pm, you hinted towards such.

All these mug rugs are awesome and so diverse. Yes the creativity is amazing.

Candi your package arrived today! They are wonderful! I'll be playing Vivaldi's 4 seasons as I enjoy my beverage with them. Hint for all to speculate.
I still have guests here from the wedding (my son's) and didn't get the last bit of the 4th one done before the guests came, so I'll have to finish on Wed. after they leave. One trip to the airport Wed am for a flight that leaves at 6 am and the other flight leaves at 1:30 pm (2nd trip) only 15-20 minutes each way so not too bad, but it is an early wake up to get my daughter to the airport approx. 5 am. I'll try to do a preliminary post of one I made on Wed. and try to post the ones Candi sent me, but if I don't get it to work Candi said she'd post a pic.
